[laughter] >> yes, michelle obama. i thought it was a brilliantly cynical speech. it was done a marvelously. the theme was he loves his children, his wife, his family, therefore he loves everybody. i buy the first three -- i think he has a terrific guy in that way. but it is a non sequitur. but her will recommend, if it is really an argument -- it was all anecdotes -- was that empathy his agenda. drain him of any ideological motive for his election. this is a guy extremely ideological and enormously ambitious. to pretend, as she did successfully, that there is none of that in him is a marvel. >> "brilliantly cynical." >> i just cannot believe he is going after them and's wife. i cannot believe he did that, but he did. >> because she is a woman? >> did you offer similar comments about ann romney's speech? >> it was a different speech by different woman. >> did she not also talk about her husband, feelings -- but no, let's not taldo that. when it comes to the obamas, for goodness sakes, they do nothing right. i will go ahead and accept that from you, charles. maybe t
